𝑺𝒐𝒎𝒆 𝒓𝒊𝒗𝒂𝒍𝒔 𝒄𝒂𝒏 𝒃𝒆 𝒇𝒂𝒕𝒂𝒍 𝒕𝒐 𝒚𝒐𝒖𝒓 𝒉𝒆𝒂𝒓𝒕, 𝒃𝒖𝒕... 𝑰𝒕'𝒔 𝑱𝒖𝒔𝒕 𝑯𝒊𝒈𝒉 𝑺𝒄𝒉𝒐𝒐𝒍.⠀ ⠀ Here’s the 411 about high school—well, at least for my high school, Clintwood Academy.⠀ ⠀ 💋It’s a fucking warzone.⠀ 💋Everyone has a grudge against someone else. ⠀ 💋It’s the breeding ground for losers, jealous broken-hearted girls, and acne covered fools with zero game.⠀ 💋The disgustingly rich kids are vile, vindictive, popular, and the mecca of a social life worth a damn.⠀ 💋Lastly, high school is simply survival of the fittest.⠀ ⠀ And I was the fittest of them all. Once.⠀ ⠀ Once, before I set up to take the fall for an attempted murder of one of the Fitz brothers, the golden boys of St. Jude High, our sworn rival enemy.⠀ ⠀ Before I was played for a kiss and it worked. ⠀ ⠀ Now, the Fitz brothers hate me.⠀ They suspect me.⠀ They want to destroy me.⠀ They know everything about me, and I hate them for it.⠀ ⠀ And now, we’ll all be living together, like one big, happy step-family. With secrets brimming, hatred festering, and other feelings I have no business having for my step-cousin-brothers or whatever, haunting me night and day.⠀ ⠀ Now, let’s kiss and be forever rivals…⠀

She’s gone… good riddance to tormenting, cold nightmares that come in the form of sweet but devious kisses. ⠀ Thing is, without her here, there’s a fiery riot in my heart I can't control.⠀ She left a bloody feud brewing in my house.⠀ That Little Minx caused chaos and hell to break loose between my brother and me as only she can.⠀ She kissed me and imprinted her broken soul to my darkness.⠀ Now, I want her back with a kind of obsessive desperation that will drive us both to hell.⠀ Hate or not, she’s still going to kiss me with everything she is, because she knows who she belongs to.⠀ I’m going to own every inch of her pathetic, cold, dark, shallow, and meaningless soul that mirrors mine.⠀ Is that cruel of me? I don't give a damn.⠀ She’s the architect of this ruinous chapter we just entered, because what’s coming is more than devious.⠀ We’re going to lose more than the cruel kisses we bargained for…⠀

All circles of hell that we’ve been through like levels in a game. But… we lost. Trust is really deception. Contracts are ruthless vendettas in writing. Now we’re in the very pit of hell with the power to crush a soul, to save a life, to secure a future, all rests in my frozen hands. I’ve been a puppet and I’m broken beyond repair. But it doesn’t matter. I have empty memories, a blank future and a shredded soul. But I think I still love him. Bitter consequences be damned… So, you tell me, what kind of fool does that make me? \*Bitter Kisses is the third and final installment in Mia & Julian's story.
